I mined elsewhere but always switched back to slush...my daily avg. on slush pool is higher than any other pool I have mined with.

Thank you for this info mstrongbow...you saved me a lot of time!

You bet. I cannot state for a fact that Slush pools pays more than ALL other pools (for myself anyways) but out of the few I have mined with, I prefer Slush pool over any others. I will be searching for a more preferred backup/fail-over pool versus what I am using currently.

WOW, just joined the board today to post my amazement of the flock of hoppers that came on.. I am fairly new to slush pool, and due to the low number of g/h i am able to hash i was looking for the community pool effect to earn steady bitcoin.. now that the hoppers are on I can tell you I can effectively mine a whole bitcoin in two years

Oh and for the record I started this as a hobby and the chances to earn some rare bitcoin...

I have a question for any knowledgeable miners out there.I have three 1Ths miners here at Slush and three at BTCGuild.How does luck actually play a part?Guild finds blocks regular as clockwork every 55 mins approx.Slush can vary from seconds to over a day.Just curious.

yeah luck varies but it's "balanced" by the size of your share.

Ghash.io finds blocks even more frequently but your share of the rewards are even smaller.

Considering longer periods (4day+) there is miniscule or no difference between pools when it comes to btc rewards.

Btw, over a day long rounds exist but they are not that frequent on slush.
